Just noticed the title of this thread has poor grammar.

Should be: The "Today I did something to my car" thread.

I'll be sure to close the door after me...

Is incorrect placing of quotation marks / inverted commas poor grammer Voodoo?

Slightly embarrassing to say the least, as i'm normally good with my grammar - to an extent.

Lacking in capital i's though, due to the "i" on my keyboard no longer functioning.

Aye, didn't think that was right. I'm veryyyy tired...

Oooh look at you being all strong and masculine and moderatory!

Today I sprayed my engine cover and strut brace blue. I am delighted with the results. Pics tomorrow.

Collected the E46, yeah no more bashed up bumper, they gave the car a good scrub as well for me, yay means I have less work to do this weekend

(And yes there is a pinkish tinge off the bodywork I took this pic this morning on my phone while the sun was coming up)

:pac: I might have a go over the weekend see what If I can come up with any decent pics

A mini tripod and exposure compensation are your friends. Or better if your camera has the option of setting shutter speed manually. A good few point-and-shoot's do.

Could have bought a 140 L&K

But that wouldn't have 170bhp or the improved suspension, or nice wheels...

I know
It would also not have had the vRS badges

Not much of a difference between 140 and 170 anyway.

L&K has nicer seats

As for the suspension??
If you are looking for good setup then the vRS ones need improving as well so it's a catch 22.

So you only bought your vRS for the Badges?
Big enough difference between the 140 and 170. And the vRS suspension may not be fantastic, but it's a lot better than the barely average standard Octavia. Besides, throwing srpings and shocks at the vRS wouldn't transform it that much either, you'd be better off spending more on a better car.
The badges are a bit tack anyway, I'd take them off too if I had one. But I'd have the petrol if I were to buy one.

Can I ask why you took them off?

Well partly extreme paranoia after it being robbed! I don't really want it spelled out to everyone I AM A VRS.

And also partly cos personally I think it looks better! and it seemed a easy enough thing to do.

vectra wrote: »

Or why did you buy a vRS in the 1st place

lots of reasons, mainly cos I like the car and its spec (power/boot size

) vs price! and spotted a year old one for sale and snapped it up. (so nothing to do with its badges of course!)
Maybe I can interest you in a second set?

Now, is that better?

conzy

I hope thats the same pic?

It definitely has a pink tinge to it like that "oil slick" effect paint you see on scangermobiles?

*edit* Also it could be that pink jumper your wearing

Well I actually do have a pink top on so maybe that is the problem, it defo does not look pink at all in the flesh.

Conzy is disappoint - he was hoping he could get his resprayed in official e46 pink

That is from water pooling in at the spark plugs. A common fault with the water jets tubing leaking.

alexlyons

so the engine cover fix iv seen on the interwebs would help sort that? should i do anything to rectify it other than that?
